Some commands can get very unweildy if they have too many positional
arguments. Adding options makes them easier to read, remember, and
understand.
This implementation of getopt has been taken from barebox, which has had
option support for quite a while. I have made a few modifications to their
version, such as the removal of opterr in favor of a separate getopt_silent
function. In addition, I have moved all global variables into struct
getopt_context.
The getopt from barebox also re-orders the arguments passed to it so that
non-options are placed last. This allows users to specify options anywhere.
For example, `ls -l foo/ -R` would be re-ordered to `ls -l -R foo/` as
getopt parsed the options. However, this feature conflicts with the const
argv in cmd_tbl->cmd. This was originally added in 54841ab50c ("Make sure
that argv[] argument pointers are not modified."). The reason stated in
that commit is that hush requires argv to stay unmodified. Has this
situation changed? Barebox also uses hush, and does not have this problem.
Perhaps we could use their fix?
I have assigned maintenance of getopt to Simon Glass, as it is currently
only used by the log command. I would also be fine maintaining it.

|
|
* getopt() parses short options. Short options are single characters. They may
|
|
* be followed by a required argument or an optional argument. Arguments to
|
|
* options may occur in the same argument as an option (like ``-larg``), or
|
|
* in the following argument (like ``-l arg``). An argument containing
|
|
* options begins with a ``-``. If an option expects no arguments, then it may
|
|
* be immediately followed by another option (like ``ls -alR``).
|
|
*
|
|
* @optstring is a list of accepted options. If an option is followed by ``:``
|
|
* in @optstring, then it expects a mandatory argument. If an option is followed
|
|
* by ``::`` in @optstring, it expects an optional argument. @gs.arg points
|
|
* to the argument, if one is parsed.
|
|
*
|
|
* getopt() stops parsing options when it encounters the first non-option
|
|
* argument, when it encounters the argument ``--``, or when it runs out of
|
|
* arguments. For example, in ``ls -l foo -R``, option parsing will stop when
|
|
* getopt() encounters ``foo``, if ``l`` does not expect an argument. However,
|
|
* the whole list of arguments would be parsed if ``l`` expects an argument.
|
|
*
|
|
* An example invocation of getopt() might look like::
|
|
*
|
|
* char *argv[] = { "program", "-cbx", "-a", "foo", "bar", 0 };
|
|
* int opt, argc = ARRAY_SIZE(argv) - 1;
|
|
* struct getopt_state gs;
|
|
*
|
|
* getopt_init_state(&gs);
|
|
* while ((opt = getopt(&gs, argc, argv, "a::b:c")) != -1)
|
|
* printf("opt = %c, index = %d, arg = \"%s\"\n", opt, gs.index, gs.arg);
|
|
* printf("%d argument(s) left\n", argc - gs.index);
|
|
*
|
|
* and would produce an output of::
|
|
*
|
|
* opt = c, index = 1, arg = "<NULL>"
|
|
* opt = b, index = 2, arg = "x"
|
|
* opt = a, index = 4, arg = "foo"
|
|
* 1 argument(s) left
|
|
*
|
|
* For further information, refer to the getopt(3) man page.
|
|
*
|
|
* Return:
|
|
* * An option character if an option is found. @gs.arg is set to the
|
|
* argument if there is one, otherwise it is set to ``NULL``.
|
|
* * ``-1`` if there are no more options, if a non-option argument is
|
|
* encountered, or if an ``--`` argument is encountered.
|
|
* * ``'?'`` if we encounter an option not in @optstring. @gs.opt is set to
|
|
* the unknown option.
|
|
* * ``':'`` if an argument is required, but no argument follows the
|
|
* option. @gs.opt is set to the option missing its argument.
|
|
*
|
|
* @gs.index is always set to the index of the next unparsed argument in @argv.
